Chords

[Intro] G Am7 D G [Verse 1]
              G
I'm just a singer

                      Am7
A natural born guitar ringer

         D
kind of a clinger

           G
to sad old songs

                    G
I'm not a walk behinder

               Am7
I'm a new note finder

                  D
but my name's a reminder

                              G
of a blues man that's already gone

             G
So I started drinkin'

                                  Am7
Took things that messed up my thinkin'

           D
I was sure sinkin'

                 G
when you came along

                       G
I was alone in the hot lights

               Am7
Not too much left in sight

                         D
but she changed all that one night

                      G
when she sang me this song
[Chorus]
    D     C    G
Hey baby, I love you

             Am7
Hey baby, I need you

              D
Hey baby, you ain't got to prove to me you're

                     G
some kind of macho man

               C              G
You've wasted so much of your life

                    Am7
runnin' through the dark nights

                  D
Let me shine some love light

                      G
down on this blues man

[Verse 2]
                   G
I got so sick from speedin'

                              Am7
All the stuff they said I was needin'

                D
if I was to keep pleasin'

           G
all of my fans

                     G
I got cuffed on dirt roads

            Am7
I got sued over no shows

                     D
but she came and took all that old load

                    G
down off this blues man
[Chorus]
    D     C      G
Hey baby, I love you too

             Am7
Hey baby, I need you

            D
Hey baby, I do get tired

                      G
of this travelin' band

    D  C      G
I'm 30 years old now

                 Am7
Nights would be cold now

              D
if you hadn't stuck it out

                  G
with this blues man

               G
I'm 30 years old now

                      Am7
Nights sure would be cold now

             D
if you hadn't hung around

                G
with this blues man
